Excerpt from Southern Rhodesia

In 1889 a Royal Charter was granted by the British Government to the British South Africa Company, authorizing it to take over the vast tract of country extending from the Transvaal to Lake Tanganyika and comprising an area, which, after settlement of boundary disputes with the Portuguese Government, amounted to square miles. The Whole territory was named after the conceiver and founder of this great project, Mr. Cecil Rhodes.

Rhodesia is divided into Northern Rhodesia and Southern Rhodesia; the former is again divided for administrative purposes into N orth-western and north-eastern Rhodesia, but the subject of this book is the southern portion only.
